Parties. All time shall be equally allocated between the parties and no event shall debate continue beyond 11 50 a. M. Each member other than the majority and minority leaders and minority whip shall be limited to five minutes. The chair recognizes the gentleman from oregon, mr. Lumenauer, for five minutes. Mr. Blumenauer thank you, madam speaker. What if the headline in the morning paper was slightly different . What if we had a disease that had killed 59 people yesterday and sickened over 500 others . You think the nation would demand action . If we had an outbreak every day that had over 100,000 people a year, killed and injured, congress would be in a frenzy. Yesterday we found two minutes for a moment of silence and we moved on. Un violence is a Public Health hazard. Every bit hazard. Every bit as important as any other disease or outbreak. Ours is the only developed country in the world that cannot protect our families from death and injury, there guns on a massive scale. After y
Reaction, very short, brandnew reaction from joe biden. President trumps comment today regarding holding up funding for the Postal Service ahead of a lot more ballots being mailed than usual. Lets go, lets go, come on. The democratic ticket has not left delaware, theyve spent the last 40 minutes or so getting a briefing from Public Health officials about covid19. We do expect more formal remarks from biden and Kamala Harris in the next hour or so and Kamala Harris was pretty prolific during her own candace t to my candidacy but nothing like weve seen in the last two days, she broughto megan her first 24 hous the running mate. Yesterday we had our best grassroots fundraising day of the campaign, more than double our previous record. And in doing so we set record for online political fundraising and i think i know why. So i hope, i hope you will join us as well. Both biden and harris are going to deliver their convention remarks next week live from delaware on backtoback nights. As harri
John roberts took 24 days, a little bit of an asterisk because he had previously been nominated for the position of associate justice and President Trump change that to a nomination for chief justice but that wasnt until september the 5th that he was confirmed. Sandra day oconnor, 33 days from nomination to confirmation, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 42 days. If President Trump sanchez nominee up this weekend it will take 38 days before the election to get it done. What the president is looking for in a nominee, heres what he said this morning. We are looking for somebody who is brilliant, really understands the law and abides by the constitution and a good person, we are looking for a good person who is really been somebody that has very, very high moral values. Who fits that bill . The top contenders are Amy Coney Barrett from the seven circuit of appeals on the 11th circuit of appeals, democrats are bowing to do whatever it takes to block the nomination from going through up to and including
Politician. Hes running on raising taxes. Thats how crazy the world has become. This is probably the worst in the history of president ial politics. Win, lose, or draw. This man should not be a president. Number one, he is corrupt. Number two, he is not a smart man, never was. Number three, hes seen better days. Before the president getting ready for another rally in tucson, arizona, and hes feeling very confident about his election chances. I want to have said that three weeks ago. Three weeks ago, two weeks ago. I dont know. I wouldnt have set it. But when we are leading in michigan in the early go, thats unheard of. Juan meanwhile, joe biden, hes off the campaign trail this week. He is appearing for the final debate on thursday night. But yesterday in North Carolina, the former Vice President was attacking trump over the coronavirus. Trump set at one of his rallies, weve turned the corner. My grandfather would say, this guy has gone around the bend if he thinks weve turned the corne
Today from president elect joe biden. Yesterday, in my view, one of the darkest days in the history of our nation, an unprecedented assault on our democracy. They werent protesters. Dont dare call them protesters. They were a riotous mob, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists. If that basic. Its that simple. The fast 4 years, weve had a president who has made content for our democracy, constitution, the rule of law, clear and everything he has done. Dana President Trump saying there will be a peaceful transfer of power, but calls have been ramping up by lawmakers for the president to be removed via the 20 for the moment. Both senator Chuck Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi say they are on board, but are not ruling out impeachment. In calling for this seditious act, the president has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people. I joined the Senate Democratic leader in calling on the Vice President remove this president by immediately invoking the 25th amendment. If the
